Bumping this to see if ANYONE would be willing to take a look.

Well I am no BALS expert but I think it looks pretty good. At first I added up your credits and only came up to 117, but you have the A & L Clep exam listed as 3 credits but it is 6.

Looks good, those should all be upper level as shown at: DANTES

TESC has a list of them that are accepted and seems to change them out in some way every few months so you should be okay if you used a list for them, just make sure you aren't taking them just because the FEMA site showed they were worth college credit (you need to use the TESC list to see which ones they take)

Does anyone see any problems? Thank you in advance

[COLOR="#0000FF"]Only one issue in that plan, it doesn't add up to 120 credits. The good news is that the problem resolves itself. Once you make the change for A & I Lit to be six credits it will work. You will end up meeting 120 credits by doing this:
30 credit area of study + the capstone (33 credits) by having 15 200 level courses (lower level courses), and 18 upper level including the capstone.

Your list had 6 100 level, 6 200 level, and 18 upper level but with that A & I Lit change and the Straighterline change you end up with more credits and they are all 200 level so you don't have to worry about the limit on 100 level. Your plan looks good, if you think you can complete the remaining courses in the next year you should go ahead and start the process now, even though the change to general education is in July, you never know if they will change acceptance of different exams or with specific FEMA courses.
